The Partisan Lyrics - Singles - Cohen Leonard

When they poured across the border 

I was cautioned to surrender, 

this I could not do; 

I took my gun and vanished. 

I have changed my name so often, 

I've lost my wife and children 

but I have many friends, 

and some of them are with me. 

An old woman gave us shelter, 

kept us hidden in the garret, 

then the soldiers came; 

she died without a whisper. 

There were three of us this morning 

I'm the only one this evening 

but I must go on; 

the frontiers are my prison. 

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing, 

through the graves the wind is blowing, 

freedom soon will come; 

then we'll come from the shadows. 

Les Allemands e'taient chez moi, [The Germans were at my home 

ils me dirent, "Signe toi," They said, "Sign yourself," 

mais je n'ai pas peur; But I am not afraid 

j'ai repris mon arme. I have retaken my weapon. 

J'ai change' cent fois de nom, I have changed names a hundred times 

j'ai perdu femme et enfants I have lost wife and children 

mais j'ai tant d'amis; But I have so many friends 

j'ai la France entie`re. I have all of France 

Un vieil homme dans un grenier An old man, in an attic 

pour la nuit nous a cache', Hid us for the night 

les Allemands l'ont pris; The Germans captured him 

il est mort sans surprise. He died without surprise.] 

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing, 

through the graves the wind is blowing, 

freedom soon will come; 

then we'll come from the shadows.
